this is the very begining of my quadruped it uses a picaxe 28x1 and will sponser up to two servos per leg (2dof) so far the black box is just the "control station" but will be the main part of the body later. for now it can play music but will play music and walk around once finished. Im a little low on funds so I need to wait til my birthday (will be 13!) but thats only in a few months so it shouldnt be to long of a wait i will update whenever progress has been achieved hope to be finished by the end of the year (because that would be sad if I dont will probably finish in a few days when the parts arrive.) so that I can start of with a new project at the begining of the school year. developing the code! UPDATE: changed my mind on the leg design now i will have just some simple leg designs out of "organic glass" like here: https://www.robotshop.com/letsmakerobots/node/20371
walk around and avoid obsticles with 8 servos and a sharp IR (impress friends!)
